Hinly Hotel, Melaka

Advantages: Lovely rooms, nice touches like petals on your bed
Disadvantages: Some may find the location too far from Hua Hin centre

...We stayed at Kaban Tamor in December 2002. It's a lovely small resort in Khao Takiab on the outskirts of Hua Hin. The rooms are cute little round bungalows and were spotlessly clean and very romantic - they sprinkled petals on your bed every morning which we thought was lovely. The restaurant was good - we had lunch there several times but only ate there a couple of times at night as we preferred to go into Hua Hin centre. It was quite romantic at night, as you can sit at candlelit tables very close to the sea. The food was authentic and spicy, and the staff were friendly. Breakfast was fine, perfectly adequate but nothing special, as is the norm in most Thai hotels. The pool is quite small but very refreshing to swim in and was rarely too busy when we were there - it could be hard to get a sun lounger round the pool though... Read review

Advantages: Good cheap hotel and excellent location
Disadvantages: Busy - but very popular

...It was a very good place to stay - it was a cheap hotel with a convenient location. The prices where very good and the staff friendly. When traveling in Malacca its important to make sure you are not too in the centre of town because traffic is very bad there, so this hotel on the edge of town offers the best solution. Its a friendly place with parking right outside and this nice chicken restaurant right outside on the ground floor. The coffee shops are near by. The rooms as good and many types if you need a large room for a family or your relatives are staying with you. It was nice to have an adjoining room for my kidss. It recommend it again to anyone....

Advantages: 5 Star luxury at affordable prices.
Disadvantages: A little off the beaten track.

...From the moment you arrive at the impressive front entrance with its long sweeping driveway you can tell that this hotel has 'class'. Situated on the edge of Hua hin (yet easily reached by foot in 15/20 minutes) the complex has low rise beautiful accomodation set around stunning gardens and pools and across from the enormous free form swimming pool (which has a wicked steep slide..not for the faint hearted!) lies a gorgeous stretch of white powdery sand.Turn right on the beach and your'e headed for the gigantic golden statue of Buddha which towers over the rocky headland.The local monks will be glad to see you and you can have them pray with you and give you a twisted coloured rope bracelet which is supposed to keep you from harm and bring you peace. Turn left and you can walk into town,this will take you close to the King of Thailands... Read review
